A delightful twist on the classic Sloppy Joe, these biscuit cups are filled with a savory BBQ beef mixture and topped with melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Cook the ground beef, celery, onion, and green bell pepper in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the grease, or tilt the skillet and drain it into a heat-safe container.
Stir in the barbecue sauce and salt, then let the mixture simmer uncovered for 3 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Place one biscuit dough piece into each well of an ungreased muffin tin, pressing the dough to form a cup shape.
Ensure the dough covers the bottom and sides of each muffin cup.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each biscuit cup.
Distribute the filling evenly for consistent portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown.
Check for doneness by looking for a golden-brown color on the biscuit edges.
Top each cup with shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid over-melting.
Let the biscuit cups cool for 1 minute, then loosen the edges with a knife and remove them from the tin.
Gently loosen the edges to avoid breaking the biscuit cups.
Serve the biscuit cups warm and enjoy!
Pair with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
